KNUTH VDM 1600 S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 63.000" and a maximum turning length of 39.000", accommodating large workpieces. It is equipped with dual-speed capability providing up to 160 RPM and a robust spindle horsepower of 40.20 HP on both spindle 1 and spindle 2, ensuring high torque and power for heavy-duty turning operations. The machine operates on three linear axes with X, Y, and Z travels of 36.000", 3 ipm max feed rate on X and Y axes, and 31.000" on the Z axis, all supporting rapid traverse speeds of up to 71 ipm, enabling efficient material removal and positioning speeds. This configuration allows for complex and precise machining with excellent control over diameter, length, and off-center features due to the inclusion of the Y-axis. The high horsepower spindle combined with the extensive travel ranges makes this vertical machining center suitable for machining large and intricate parts with demanding power and precision requirements, offering versatility for varied applications in metalworking industries. The balanced feed rates and rapid traverse speeds optimize throughput while maintaining machining accuracy and repeatability. This vertical machining center design supports heavy and high-precision CNC turning operations with an emphasis on power, size capacity, and multi-axis control for complex part production.
